Terms Used In Idaho Code 39-3207

  • Applicant: means an entity submitting documents required by the community health center grant program for the purpose of requesting a grant from the community health center grant fund. See Idaho Code 39-3203
  • Board: means the health care access grant review board, as established in section 39-5904, Idaho Code. See Idaho Code 39-3203
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
